Salmoneus

Salmoneus is a fictional character on the popular TV series Hercules: The Legendary Journeys and Xena: Warrior Princess, portrayed by Robert Trebor. He is based on the mythical character Salmoneus.

Salmoneus is the ancient Greek version of a traveler dealer. He always has an angle, and never fails to take advantage of a situation. He is also noted for being the composer of Xena's theme music.
